A/N I know I should
be working on Too Late and all my other stories, but this one quote
from Twilight jumped out and me and I wrote it down, then a couple
weeks ago I reread the quote and I got hit with inspiration. So this
story is for Ali, aka ForAReason. Here ya go! And I'm sorry it's
short!

Brennan continued
studying the skeleton that lay on the table in front of her as Booth
bounded up the steps. "Come on Bones. It's past nine. Time for
you to leave.

"I can't leave yet.
I have to finish this skeleton." Booth gave her a look. "Thirty
minutes is all I need."

Booth sighed and
pouted. "What am I supposed to do for a half hour?"

"I don't know…go
sit in my office," she replied, engrossed with the bones once more.

Booth rolled his eyes
and turned to walk to her office. The office was full of artifacts
from her travels. He walked to desk and moved the mouse to her
computer. A screen popped up asking for the password. Booth grinned
as he typed in 'Seeley Booth'. The screen closed and a
word document came up.

'Her book?'
Booth thought. He began reading the words.

I let it happen. I
let someone care or me, and I got hurt. I should've known better.
No one ever stays. I wish I knew how much this would hurt before I
got close to him.'

Booth could feel a
slight pang in his heart.

'Even more, I had
never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew-knew it in the pit of
my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my
head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest- was how
love gave someone the power to break you.'

He turned to look out
her door. Booth saw her standing in the same spot her left her. He
slowly turned back to the computer.

'Sully asked me to
go with him. Everyone told me to go, even Booth, but I said no. I
did-do love him, but I can't be with him. I wish this didn't hurt
so much.'

Booth could feel his
eyes fill with tears. He quickly blinked them away. He knew she cared
about Sully, but he didn't know how much she loved him.

Booth sighed and turned
off Brennan's computer. He grabbed her jacket from the couch,
turned off the light and walked up the platform. Brennan looked up
from the table. Booth began to take her lab coat off her . Se looked
back down as he helped her put on her winter coat and a tear fell
from her eye. Her fingers lightly traced down his arm and to his
hand. He squeezed her hand tightly before letting go and walking down
the steps. She began to walk after him slowly. Booth stood at the
steps and waited for her. It hurt him to know she still loved Sully,
but for now he had to push that pain aside and comfort Brennan.

"Come on, Bones.
Let's get some pie." He said softly while throwing an arm around
her shoulders. He would listen and comfort her no matter how much it
hurt him.

So that was my
present to Ali. Please don't kill me! My twin nearly did when I
told her it wasn't B/B! And she barely watches Bones!!
